(Courtesy Caldwell County Animal Coalition) CCACtx, Poquita Paws, Jack Jack's Pack, Central Texas Little Dog Rescue and Pawliska Rescue & Reunite were on site during the response effort to help rescue the animals and then take them in. Staff from Royal Crown Veterinary Specialists in Bee Cave as well as Dr. Chris Huddleson helped provide any necessary medical care for the animals during the rescue operation. The following organizations took dogs in to care for and house them: CCACtx Poquita Paws Jack Jack's Pack Central Texas Little Dog Rescue Pawliska Rescue & Reunite Altruistic Dog Rescue Charming Pet Rescue Good Catch Dog Rescue Safe Rescue of Central Texas Texas Chihuahua Rescue Small Chance Rescue Ay Chihuahua Rescue Operation Barking Squirrel Kingdom Rescue AJK In total, 87 dogs are currently in rescue services' care and 16 were relocated with the help of family assistance. Falgout said the home involved in the hoarding incident is being boarded up and is set to be demolished. "We are hopeful that this situation will shed light on the need of sterilizing pets as well as vaccinations and microchips," she added in her email. In fewer than three years, Falgout said CCACtx has helped sterilize more than 1,500 animals as well as microchip pets. She said her hope is for CCACtx to launch a brick and mortar location in downtown Lockhart next year to provide monthly low-cost clinics to community members seeking those services. Those interested in learning more about CCACtx can find more details online, including information on how to donate to CCACtx's work via platforms like Venmo (@CCACtx) and Zeffy.
